Windows 7 + NLB?
seen many posts regarding Windows 7 and load balance for networks.
Windows 7 is suppose to have it built in if im not mistaken.
I did a simple test,
As i got internet from 2 sources
1 Wireless
1 Cable
I tried Utorrent and tried a torrent since it uses a lot of connections,
My result is that 98% of the traffic went through the cable and the other 2% the other cards, it only spiked up now and then, nothing much.
What is the best way to get the most of a 1 wirelss and 1 cable internet?

I don't understand what you want to achieve with this. It is not going to give you faster downloads. If network is working properly, this happens automatically; when windows detects a working LAN connection, it is prioritized because it's faster than WiFi. | | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop

If you have two independent lines, both with own router and / or modem, then it's possible to assign for instance LAN to line/router 1 and WiFi to line/router 2, and with little work get the load balanced.
If you have one line only, both NIC's connected to that, there's not much you can do. | | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop

Martin, as I hinted in my previous post this needs two lines, with two routers. Otherwise it does nothing.
Somehow I understood OP only has one line. | | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop

OP can you please clarify this? I can see Kari's point... in one post it looks like you have one line, in the next it looks like you have 2 | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Now I'm confused. If you have two independent lines, follow Severedsolo's link to read about how it's done.
If you have only one line, learn to live with it  | | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop
